ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
THURSSDAY,FEBRUARY 10TH, 2022
The moments our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

Life is a special occasion!

Today is Umbrella Day which honors the famous invention to protect against rain or sunlight. An umbrella or a parasol is a canopy designed to protect against the weather.
Umbrellas are a consumer product with a large global market. They continue to be developed in the US so many umbrella related patients are being filed that the US Patent Office employs four full time examiners to assess them As of 2008, the office registered three thousand active patents on umbrella related inventions.
To celebrate today make sure you have an umbrella on hand.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Compromise makes a good umbrella, but a poor roof
James Russell Lowell
My favorite umbrella would have to be a beach umbrella one that protects us from the sunshine. The umbrellas shown in today’s pictures are at tables around our pool area. They were here when I first moved in, but now they’ve been replaced with plain yellow canvas ones. I liked the old ones better.
I have an umbrella stand right by my back door to keep my umbrellas in. Right now I have two. One is a large golf umbrella left behind by one of my sons. I also have a smaller one with a handle on it that I use when I need to go out in the rain. I like the handle on it because it’s like having a cane to use for help in walking when I get tired.
They say we can also use an umbrella if we need protection. Poking someone that might try to harm us with the point of it, might help scare someone away.
Today we’re to have a litle snow coming down so I don’t think I’ll be needing an umbrella here. I’m going to be staying in and keeping warm. It’s a good day for me to catch up on the house work once again. It’s something that never ends.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Prayer is asking for rain and faith is carrying the umbrella.
Barbara Johnson
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
9970. for Umbrellas, especially beach umbrellas
9971 for rain umbrellas that keep me dry
9972. for a day to catch up

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their

Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters and EMT’s.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
